WatchBack+ Chrome Extension

I built WatchBack+ because this is how I learn from YouTube.

I'll watch a few minutes of a long tutorial, pause it, then immediately disappear down the rabbit hole. The next day I want to carry on... and I've completely lost where I was.

I didn't want a mess of tabs or semi-remembered "Watch Later" videos. Instead, I wanted a clean place to save the exact moment I was at so I could come back to the tutorial when I was ready. Naturally, as any engineer does, I made a small extension that lets me save tutorials at precise timestamps and keep them organised in a way that makes sense to me.

It's something I use all the time now, it helped me, so I figured I'd release it in case it helps anyone else too.
